Abstract: Generally, this disclosure describes an apparatus. The apparatus includes switch controller circuitry. The switch controller circuitry includes dead time logic circuitry to determine an estimated dead time interval between a turn off of a first switch and a turn on of a second switch. The first switch and the second switch are coupled at a switched node. The estimated dead time interval is determined based, at least in part, on a difference between an input voltage, Vin, and a switched voltage, Vsw, detected at the switched node just prior to turning off the first switch, a parasitic capacitance, Cpar, associated with the switched node and a maximum inductor current, IL,max. The difference between Vin and Vsw represents the maximum inductor current.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to methods, system and apparatus to wirelessly charge a mobile device using one of conventional or alternative power sources. In an exemplary embodiment, the disclosure provides a method and apparatus to detect power source as a function of its power profile linearity. Once determination is made as to whether the incoming power is harvested from natural resources or is provided from conventional AC/DC adapter/DC source, the incoming power is conditioned and impedance-matched to wirelessly energize an external load. The external load may be a device configured for wireless charging.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a voltage regular (VR) formed from dies stacked on a package base layer. The VR can include a first part on a first die and a second part on a second die, where the different parts are selected based on characteristics of the respective die such as their voltage domains or technologies. In a capacitor-based VR, an input capacitor and switches subject to a relatively high input voltage can be provided in the first die, while a flying capacitor, output capacitor and switches subject to a relatively low output voltage can be provided in the second die. In an inductor-based VR, an inductor and one or more switches subject to a relatively high input voltage can be provided in the first die, while an output capacitor subject to a relatively low output voltage can be provided in the second die.

Abstract: A 3-level ripple quantization scheme provides power transistor (MOS) strength-tuning mechanism focused on the transient clamp period. The 3-level ripple quantization scheme solves the digital low dropout's (D-LDO's) tradeoff between silicon area (e.g., decoupling capacitor size), quiescent power consumption (e.g., speed of comparators), wide load range, and optimal output ripple. The 3-level ripple quantization scheme eliminates oscillation risk from either wide dynamic range or parasitic by exploiting asynchronous pulse patterns. As such, ripple magnitude for both fast di/dt loading events and various steady-state scenarios are shrunk effectively, resulting significant efficiency benefits.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein concern operating a peak-delivered-power (PDP) controller. Operating a PDP includes calculating the new power output value from the output voltage value and the output current value, determining whether the new power output value is greater than the previous power output value to determine whether the voltage regulator is outputting a maximum power output, based on a determination that the new power output value is greater than the previous power output value, providing an instruction to a duty generator to increase a duty cycle of the voltage regulator, based on a determination that the new power output value is not greater than the previous power output value, providing an instruction to the duty generator to decrease the duty cycle of the voltage regulator, and replacing the previous power output value with the new power output value.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a voltage regular (VR) formed from die stacked on a package base layer. The die can include a load die stacked on a VR die, with an intermediate layer between the two dies. The VR can include an inductor or transformer as a charge transfer component formed between the dies. For example, the inductor or transformer windings can wind around the intermediate layer and include portions of top metal layers of the VR and load die, where the load die is inverted in the stack. The intermediate layer can be magnetic or non-magnetic for an inductor, or magnetic for a transformer. The VR can optionally be divided among two dies. The VR die may have a gallium nitride substrate to handle a higher input voltage, while the load die comprises a silicon substrate.

Abstract: A computational current sensor, that enhances traditional Kalman filter based current observer techniques, with transient tracking enhancements and an online parasitic parameter identification that enhances overall accuracy during steady state and transient events while guaranteeing convergence. During transient operation (e.g., a voltage droop), a main filter is bypassed with estimated values calculated from a charge balance principle to enhance accuracy while tracking transient current surges of the DC-DC converter. To address the issue of dependency on a precise model parameter information and further improve accuracy, an online identification algorithm is included to track the equivalent parasitic resistance at run-time.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, and systems for hybrid low dropout regulator (LDO) architecture and realization to provide high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and high conversion efficiency (CE), and other benefits. The hybrid LDO may be coupled with dual rails for its analog LDO branch and digital LDO respectively to achieve high PSRR and high CE by utilizing the hybrid architecture with several feedback loops. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
